I here would like to share with you few amazing face packs that should be handy or pre-prepared to use every alternative day or very often.
Face packs apart – the night care is gonna fetch you amazing results without having to wait for drying or wiping off the face packs.

Bath care
I recommend all the pregnant women to use natural scrubs for their bodies during pregnancy and post pregnancy too. Yes, you can even use this scrub or say (sunni pindi version) on your baby too. Make sure you APPLY oil to your face, hands, feet and body before using this scrub for better results. Play safe guys – soaps makes your skin dry and doesn’t at all help you remove the dead skin and clean pores from within.
6 cups – green gram flour
3 cups – besan or chickpea flour

1 teaspoon – turmeric
Mix them all together and store the scrub into a container. Use a cup everyday for rinsing. It works great. Your skin feels soft.
